- Hall was a summer target for United, who held off after Newcastle made clear they wanted to keep him.
- He credits Jaissle's ambitions and Newcastle's squad improvements for his decision to stay.
- Hall scored in Newcastle's 2-1 win over Hull, moving them to ninth in the Premier League.
“After not many conversations, not many training sessions, I knew that the manager was going to be really good for this club”
